The Rock Confirmed To Play Black Adam In DC's "SHAZAM" Movie - Page 8

He really shouldn't be. He goes around punching people through the head and dominating countries. That's his thing.

The funko pops for this movie were shown today. For some reason movie doctor fate has no eyes on the helmet of nabu. It's just a gold helmet. That really annoys me. Dr Fate's helmet always has eyes. I wish they would fix that.

They are going to "Book of Boba Fett" Black Adam. And we are supposed to just love it because it's the Rock.

So when he eventually faces Shazam are we supposed to cheer as The Rock gets his ass beat? They're pretty much building up the charismatic Venom scenario that will become an issue if he ever faces Spider-Man.

It definitely seems that way.

I'm assuming he means taking a character previously only known as a bad guy and making him a heroic good guy.

Which has happened in countless bits of media before. Buffy, Dragonball Z, Loki etc.

*TigerClaw* · 06-02-2022, 03:50 PM

That's the direction DC has been going lately, Turning all its supervillains into antiheroes, Which is why you have the Suicide Squad and all that stuff.

Not really the same thing. Black Adam has been around since 1945. That's 77 years until today of him being pretty much a straight-up supervillain.

He's been on the Justice League for two years now.

Yeah yeah, and suddenly out of nowhere Cyborg is on the Justice League in the comics right when Snyder starts working on his movie. This is what they do.

Cyborg was pushed as one of the Super Friends back in the 80s.

Those posters are confusing. Kinda like how the old Suicide Squad posters almost looked like Joker was one of em. Like... is Black Adam a team member and he turns on them, or like is the bad guy and these guys are called in to take him down?

None of those count. Those characters started as villains and went through actual story progression to turn into heroes/anti-heroes. They just make some new Buffy reboot with Spike as hero day one, or a DBZ reboot where Vegeta was always Goku's bestest bud day one.

*Andrew NDB* · 06-03-2022, 07:00 PM

I'm assuming they try to stop him, he kicks their candy a$$es, then they join his cause somehow.

Yep. It worked in those cases, even if they weren't perfect either.

New trailer out.

*Autbot_Benz* · 06-08-2022, 11:18 AM

Good Trailer I am mainly seeing this movie for Pierce Brosnan as Dr Fate. Fate is one of my favorite characters

*Andrew NDB* · 06-08-2022, 11:20 AM

I'm most excited that they had him posing by the rainbow flag in the trailer. That's important to me.
